In 1904, Henry Ford helped put the world on wheels. In a factory in Detroit, @Ford didn't just create a better automobile. He transformed the way automobiles were made. Using standardized parts and innovative manufacturing techniques, Ford reduced assembly time from twelve hours to just ninety-three minutes. The Model T that emerged changed history, turning the automobile from a luxury item into a practical and affordable product for ordinary families. Technology changes the world when it becomes accessible to everyone, not just a few. It is the same idea that helped put a computer on every desk and in every home. And it is how we think about the cloud and AI today. Stay tuned for Episode 4 on Monday: Nonprofits empower a nation of problem solvers. See the full series: aka.ms/America250 @Microsoft @America250

From Boston’s Old State House to the digital age, the fight for liberty has always been a fight for privacy. It was there that James Otis’s challenge to arbitrary government searches inspired John Adams to later say the true spirit of independence was born when the meaning of freedom was first understood. As America celebrates 250 years, the lesson endures: trust is the foundation of freedom. And each generation must decide how to protect it in a changing world. Coming Friday: Episode 3 from the Ford Piquette Plant. aka.ms/America250 @Microsoft #Privacy #Freedom #America250 #AI @America250

Microsoft Frontier Company is here. A new operating business built for Frontier Transformation, powered by deep industry knowledge, change management, and enterprise‑grade AI engineering. Six thousand experts working side‑by‑side with customers with intelligence and trust at the core. Details here: msft.it/6010vQPTk

The pace of AI adoption is moving incredibly fast. Customers want measurable business outcomes and their enterprise IP protected. Today, Microsoft is launching Microsoft Frontier Company, a $2.5B investment with 6,000 industry and AI engineering experts working alongside customers to co-design, deploy, and continuously improve AI systems that drive the ROI on AI.

For 250 years, America has been shaped by choices. Now we face the next ones. Microsoft’s America 250 series looks at moments from US history that still shape innovation, progress, and what comes next. Watch: msft.it/6016vthhC

Microsoft is just one beneficiary of 250 years of American history and the choices made by past generations. As an American company, we believe we have a responsibility to understand where we have been, learn from it, and help make real for others the opportunities created for us.  As America enters its 251st year, we face another inflection point shaped by rapid technological change. That is why we created this series. Throughout July, we will reflect on moments in American history with six video episodes when people faced uncertainty and made choices that set in motion consequences they could not fully see. Some decisions advanced the country. Others revealed how much work remained. Together, they remind us that history is not inevitable; it is made by people, in moments, through choices. Our goal is not simply to celebrate that history, but to learn and connect the past to the questions we face today. Because one of the best ways to honor 250 years of American history is to think seriously about what we will do next. Stay tuned for episode 2 next week. aka.ms/America250 @Microsoft

When we launched our Community-First AI Infrastructure plan in January, we made a promise: we would meet the growing demand for datacenters without straining the resources communities depend on. Water was central to that commitment. Today we shared our progress. Since our first datacenter designs in the early 2000s, we have improved our water-use effectiveness by nearly 90 percent. We are more than halfway to our 2030 water-intensity goal. And in FY25, we replenished more water globally than we withdrew, a milestone toward becoming water positive. Digital growth and responsible water stewardship can move forward together, and the communities we call home should be stronger for it. @Microsoft blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2026/06/2…

Today we broke ground in La Porte, Indiana, alongside Mayor Tom Dermody, local leaders, and community members who made this possible. This marks more than the start of a new datacenter. It represents the future of this community and our commitment to being a good neighbor. Beyond the thousands of construction jobs, our first phase will create more than 600 permanent Microsoft jobs. It will grow local tax revenues to support schools and the broader community for generations. Our campus will be designed with the latest energy efficient and closed-loop liquid cooling technologies to conserve natural resources. And we will enhance the surrounding ecosystem to strengthen flood protection and natural habitat. La Porte means "the door." Together, we hope to help open a door to what's next, and to be the kind of neighbor that makes a community proud to call @Microsoft part of its hometown.

It was great to sit down with former UK Prime Minister @RishiSunak to talk about the Mythos Moment, named for @AnthropicAI's latest model, and what it means for cybersecurity and AI policy. We discussed the real security challenges AI presents, and the responsibility policymakers have to help these tools better serve people. Hear the full conversation: aka.ms/toolsandweapons @Microsoft

New findings in Nature Methods highlight how Project Ex Vivo is helping researchers uncover patterns in cell behavior that may lead to more personalized therapies for patients dealing with cancer. Microsoft researcher Lorin Crawford explains more: msft.it/6006vgDS8

WHAT A LINEUP | #XBOXShowcase

No room, no margin, no second chances. @MercedesAMGF1 and Kimi take Monaco, and the work that won it started long before lights out.

Students from 40+ countries brought AI-powered ideas to life at @redbull Basement. 🌎 This year’s winner, Lifeline AI by USC graduate Darnell Adler, is a personal safety app that sends silent emergency alerts without unlocking a phone or saying a word. Congrats, Darnell — see you next year at @MSFTImagine.

Our newest AI Diffusion Report is out, and I sat down with Juan M. Lavista Ferres on Tools and Weapons to dig into what the first few months of 2026 are telling us. For the first time, we're looking at AI usage county by county across the United States, and some of the findings may surprise you. Link in bio to watch the full episode. @Microsoft
